Random sanity drops

[spoofmaker1]

Not sure if this should go in the bugs area but I'm not sure if it's a feature or not. I've noticed that while playing DST my sanity drops at random times. The effect is similar to picking an evil flower, but it happens at random times like walking around or eating berries. Has anyone else noticed this? I was playing as Wickerbottom when I noticed it.

I think this is when there's a little bit of lag, so your sanity is dropping gradually on the server (for example, due to dusk/night), and because the connection lagged for a bit, the client thinks your sanity stopped dropping, then dropped a bit all at once.

 

I would still call this a bug though, because even though it is caused by lag, it could probably be fixed.

I've actually heard from someone that it is due to other players causing it. In other words, if someone picks an evil flower, everyone hears the sanity drop noise. I'm not sure if it's true, but it makes sense as I heard the same thing and hadn't picked up any flowers nor did anything that would deliberately reduce sanity.

It's true. If someone repairs a hat, it's heard by everybody. Hopefully, this gets solved soon.
